Pros

That are some really intelligent people who truly care about the company mission, the customers and others they work with. The top leadership team is sincere and has the vision, but there is a disconnect between the ground and top.

Cons

Middle management has no idea what the day to day looks like on the ground, however is the one making the changes that impact operator capacity the most. They keep piling up more tasks on us but give no relief or support on small tooling improvements that we've been crying for. Work life balance doesn't exist. We pretty much work seven days a week, long hours and often have no time to take bathroom or lunch breaks. It is also becoming very political here. People who have close personal relationships with middle management get the most opportunities or favors. Others are given the words "I will support your growth", but there is no action or follow up .

Thank you for the note. Your feedback is valuable and will be shared with our leadership team. I highly encourage that you also share your insights with the HR team. This year we have built out additional training and support for new managers to build leadership skill set - as a growing company we understand that not all new managers have managed before. We are proactively implementing resourcing tools to get ahead of this area - thank you for sharing your feedback.

Pros

Recently joined - Kaz is fantastic. There's been basically no blockers to us shipping. Very long hours but you can feel the impact in the work you're doing

Cons

Not much right now. Things are a little chaotic but that's what I signed up for. EPD leadership is maybe a little lacking

Pros

I spent four years at Opendoor and back in 2021 This was a great company to work for. We had great benefits were remote and the pay was competitive. Opendoor tonight me a lot and I was able to refine my skills through hundreds of new leads every month. The role of home Sales advisor requires a large knowledge base and comes with a lot of autonomy and responsibility. Historically they have had a really hard time hiring from the outside and most new hits don’t last one year.

Cons

Frequent layoffs a culture of fear and mistrust. In 4 years I survived 6 rounds of layoffs. The new ceo has caused a lot of problems mainly by repeating the same mistakes we made before.
